Everywhere and Nowhere

There are still places which are hardly visible on the maps, with very small population, green and natural, nearly and still forgotten. Places like everywhere and nowhere. Where smart and I brain, I heart and all I technologies hardly or at all exist in everyday life. Where children grow wise and happy in the nature. Where we watch beautiful sunrises, listening to the geese and passing dear on the walk in the woods. Those places are slowly disappearing. Some people call that process a progress. We are lucky to still live in one of those places in the middle of everywhere and nowhere. 

Little people

Babies, little people with enormous hearts filled with love, so much love. They look into our eyes. They love touch, cuddles, smiles and laugh. They love playing. They always live in the present moment, always in the present tense.
When and how we big people, proudly called ourselves adults lost it?
When and how that transition happens?
They love eye contact, they love touch...
When the fear comes?

New story

My life in the past six months has been full of moments filled with love, love, love, laughter and exhaustion. Summer walked away and preparing to the second winter in Highlands. Nothing is the same. New perception, new story has began since Elliot is with us. Motherhood opens. 
Sometimes I look at my paintings and see past. Elliot is the most beautiful gift which I could ever receive. Elliot is love, joy and kindness. My son, my teacher, my baby. I have never thought that I can love so much.

My journey

Drift wood, rain and open fire on the beach, fields of pebbles, red and white cloves, black birds. This is my journey now. I am collecting inspirations to start again one day...

Hello beautiful souls. It has been a while since last time I posted. My perception of time completely has changed since Elliot's arrival.

Close to me

Elements which are so close to me- earth, sky, plants, wood, stones and myself :)

Spring is upon us. My heart is fulfilled with feeling of being so grateful for my life. It is also fulfilled with awaiting for little one to come. I am slowing down, at least I am trying to. There is less art creating but I know that time for this will come back one day. Much love to you all.

Nourishing

Close to the nature, nourishing body, mind and heart...

We are all made of stardust.

I have been painting little cards with animals and star constellations for the last few weeks.  It was a great fun. Most of those cards are dedicated to my friends. I tried to match an animal to each person. I could feel the power and strength of those wild animals when I was drawing them and painting. After all, we are all made of stardust.
